How it works

How to convert PowerPoint to PDF on Windows

Three steps, all on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.

  1. Open Tools › Documents › PowerPoint to PDF, or drop presentations.

  2. Your office app exports every slide as a page.

  3. Share the PDF: it opens anywhere, without the fonts or the app.

What you get

Built for the real document.

  • Slides as pages

    Each slide becomes one page, in order.

  • Shows and templates too

    Slide shows (.ppsx) and templates (.potx) convert like presentations.

  • Handled safely

    The office app runs in a separate process, so a stuck file can be stopped.

  • Smaller when needed

    Image-heavy decks can go straight to Compress.

Your choices

Set once, used every time.

There is no dialog to fill in. These settings in the app decide how it runs, with the defaults selected.

Settings

Office app

Automatic(selected)Microsoft OfficeWPS OfficeLibreOffice

Automatic tries Microsoft Office, then WPS Office, then LibreOffice. OpenDocument files try LibreOffice first.

Save results

Next to the original(selected)A folder you choose

Choose a folder to collect every result in one place.

Saved as “pitch.pdf” next to the original. The original is not changed.

Under the hood

How it decides.

What it reads, what it saves, and the rules it follows, taken from the app itself.

Reads 13 file types

  • .pptx
  • .ppt
  • .pptm
  • .ppsx
  • .pps
  • .ppsm
  • .potx
  • .pot
  • .odp
  • .otp
  • .fodp
  • .dps
  • .dpt

Saves as

  • pitch.pdf
  • pitch (1).pdf, if pitch.pdf is already there

Never over another file, and never over your original.

  • A window you may see

    PowerPoint cannot hide its window, so it may appear for a moment while your slides export.

  • A copy, read-only

    PowerPoint, WPS Presentation or LibreOffice opens a copy of the file, read-only, and is closed without saving. Your file is never touched.

  • Stopped if it hangs

    The office app runs in its own worker process. If a file takes more than three minutes, or you cancel, it is closed.

  • Checked first

    Empty, damaged and password-protected files are caught before the office app starts, with the reason.

App or website?

Why not an online converter?

Online tools ask for your file first. Podalls Convert never does.

Good to know

Honest limits.

What this tool does not do, said plainly.

  • Needs Microsoft Office, WPS Office or LibreOffice. Nothing is bundled or downloaded.
  • Animations and videos do not carry over to PDF.

First time? The install guide shows every screen, including the Windows warning.

Another question? Everything about Podalls Convert.

Which office app will it use?

The one chosen in Settings, or automatically: Microsoft Office, then WPS Office, then LibreOffice.

Are speaker notes included?

No. Each slide becomes one page, the way it looks in the show. Speaker notes are not added.

Can it convert Google Slides or Keynote?

Not directly. Download the presentation as .pptx (Google Slides: File › Download), then convert that.
